Synopsis: On a train crossing Tanzania, a riding microcosm of East African society, we follow three main characters, reflecting on the strength to survive. With a fighting spirit and a storyteller’s heart, Rukia looks to start her life over in a new land. Peter Nyaga, a charismatic preacher, has already found his answer, but it means he cannot waste even a train ride in spreading his gospel—and shilling his book. And Maasai elder Isaya embarks on a multi-day trek home, joined by his grandson William, who is more interested in pursuing his career as a performer in the city than in carrying on the ancient traditions of his people.
